Jane Austen

Acclaimed to be the greatest novel ever written, the story of Mrs. Bennet's finding husbands for her daughters is told with wit and charm. A must for lovers of good literature. Jane Austen was born in Steventon, England, in 1775, where she lived for the first twenty-five years of her life. Her father, George Austen, was the rector of the local parish, and provided most of her education in their home. She began to write while in her teens and completed the original manuscript of Pride and Prejudice First Impressions, between 1796 and 1797. Pride and Prejudice was published in January 1813, two years after Sense and Sensibility, her first novel. Austen published four more novels: Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. The last two were published in 1818, a year after her death. Narrator Kate Redding, is an award-winning narrator with hundreds of audiobooks to her credit
